    Why doesn't Ripon have a train line towards Harrogate or York?

    Ripon, although a lovely place with tourist attractions nearby has a tiny population of approx 17,000 and a surrounding area that is hardly overrun with people. The economics of such a service are pitiful. The majority of the tourist attractions in the Ripon area would require a car to get to...

    Ivanhoe line (via Coalville) - potential reopening?

    The amount of works required to the earthworks alone makes this a non-starter. The amount of money this would require to do would be far far better spent on the operational railway
